Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Write message to another user on same network Post 302416087 by allelopath on Saturday 24th of April 2010 11:07:26 PM

Write message to another user on same network

On our home network, with 2 Macbook pros running OS X 10.6.*, I would like be able to popup a message to the user of the other computer.

Is there a way I can "call" from one computer to another not using skype, or ichat or any application that the user has to have running?

I guess first I would need a command to show me who is on the network and then a command to write a message.
